The various forms of Natalie

The French and English name Natalie means “Christmas Day,” from the Latin natale domini. While the actual name Christmas has long since fallen out of common use, Natalie has been very popular through the ages. Here are the other forms of the name.

1. Natalya is Russian, with the nickname Natasha. An alternate form (which I can’t recall ever having seen) is Nataliya.

2. Natalija is Macedonian, Serbian, Slovenian, and Croatian. The nickname is Nataša (pronounced the same way as Natasha).

My focus is on classical eccentric and classical unusual names, and names from around the world and bygone eras. Most Top 100 names don't do much for me, though I respect the established classics that have been steadily popular over time. I'm not fond of most boys' names on girls or kreatyv spylyngz. Also, Heaven spelt backwards is not a name!
